On  the  twenty-first  day  of  June,  1886,  an  invi- 
tation was  sent,  by  Dr.  F.  W.  Gwyer,  to  former 
house  physicians  and  surgeons  to  meet  at  his 
house  for  the  purpose  of  organizing,  on  a  per- 
manent basis,  a  society  to  be  composed  of  alumni 
of  Bellevue  Hospital.  Nineteen  responded  to  the 
invitation,  but  only  sixteen  were  present  at  the 
meeting,  which  was  held  on  Monday,  June  28, 
1886;  Dr.  Henry  Herman  being  chosen  chairman, 
and  Dr.  F,  W.  Gwyer,  secretary.  After  free  dis- 
cussion, it  was  agreed  that  the  objects  of  the 
society  should  be  the  cultivation  and  advance- 
ment of  medicine  and  surgery,  and  the  promotion 
of  social  intercourse  among  its  members.  A  com- 
mittee on  organization  was  then  formed,  consist- 
ing of  Drs.  Henry  Herman,  F.  W.  Gwyer,  H.  M. 
Biggs,  L.  W.  Hotchkiss,  A.  B.  Pope,  S.  H.  Pinker- 
ton,  and  Egbert  Le  Fevre.  This  committee  re- 
ported on  September  21  a  constitution  and  by- 
laws, which  were  adopted. 

The  first  regular  meeting  was  held  on  the  fifth 
day  of  October,  1886,  when  the  officers  and  stand- 
ing committees  were  elected.  The  first  paper 
read   to   the   society   was   by   Dr.   Le   Fevre,   at 


0tig^in  of  tfje  ^ocietp 


the  second  regular  meeting,  Tuesday,  November 
9,  1886.  Specimens  bearing  upon  Dr.  Le  Fevre's 
paper  were  presented  by  Dr.  Biggs  during  the  dis- 
cussion ;  after  which  a  case  of  interest  was  related 
by  Dr.  Herman.  From  the  original  nineteen,  the 
membership  had  increased,  at  the  end  of  the  first 
year,  to  forty-one,  and  now  numbers  300,  of  which 
179  are  resident  active  members,  77  non-resident 
active  members,  22  associate  members,  19  perma- 
nent associate  members,  and  3  honorary  members.

Robert  Alexander  Murray  was  born,  of  Scotch 
ancestry,  in  this  city  fifty-seven  years  ago  last 
January. 

He  took  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  at 
the  College  of  the  City  of  New  York  in  1871 
and  that  of  Doctor  of  Medicine  in  the  New  York 
University  Medical  College  in  1873,  and  in  the 
latter  year  he  became  an  interne  in  Bellevue 
Hospital,  serving  on  the  second  Medical  Division. 

He  was  Visiting  Physician  to  the  Northwestern 
Dispensary,  diseases  of  women,  1876-1883 ;  Vis- 
iting Physician  to  the  Workhouse  and  Almshouse 
Hospitals,  1880-1884;  Visiting  Obstetrician  to  the 
Maternity  Hospital,  Blackwell's  Island,  1884-1895 ; 
Assistant  Professor  of  Obstetrics,  New  York  Un- 
iversity Medical  College,  1876-1886.  At  the  time 
of  his  death  he  was  Associate  Obstetrician  to  the 
French  Hospital,  and  Assistant  Visiting  Surgeon 
to  the  Woman's  Hospital. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medical 
Association ;  the  Congress  of  American  Physicians 
and  Surgeons;  the  American  Gynsscological  Soc-

iety;  The  New  York  Obstetrical  Society,  as  well 
as  many  other  local  medical  societies.  He  had 
been  President  of  the  Obstetrical,  Medico- Surgical, 
and  Northwestern  Medical  and  Surgical  Societies, 
Chairman  of  the  Section  on  Obstetrics  of  the 
Academy  of  Medicine,  a  vice-president  and  act- 
ing president  of  the  County  Medical  Society  and

INAUGURAL  ADDRKSS 

by 
Rkginald  H.  Sayrs,  M.  D. 

October  6th,  1909. 

It  is  counted  by  me  a  great  honor  to  have  been 
elected  to  the  presidency  of  this  society.  I  was 
present  at  its  organization,  and  have  watched  with 
both  pride  and  pleasure  its  progress  and  pros- 
perity. From  very  humble  beginnings,  endeavor- 
ing to  make  headway  where  others  had  previous- 
ly failed,  it  has  gradually  grown  in  numbers  and 
in  influence  until  it  is  now  recognized  as  one  of 
the  most  prominent  Medical  Societies  in  this 
City;  and  I  thank  you  most  heartily  for  the  dis- 
tinction you  have  conferred  on  me  by  electing  me 
to  preside  over  its  deliberations. 

After  my  election  I  took  occasion  to  look  over 
the  Constitution  of  the  society  and  found  therein 
the  following:  "The  objects  of  the  society  shall 
be :  First,  The  cultivation  and  advancement  of 
medicine  and  surgery. 

"Second,  The  promotion  of  social  intercourse 
among  its  members. 

I  ask  the  aid  of  all  of  you  in  carrying  out 
these  objects,  and  in  order  to  do  so  satisfactor- 
ily it  is  absolutely  necessary  that  the  meetings 
should   begin   promptly   at   half-past   eight.     We 


^resiibent'g  Snaugural  ^bbre£fs(      ii 


have  a  very  large  amount  of  most  interesting 
scientific  work  that  will  occupy  at  least  an  hour 
and  a  half  every  night,  and  this,  coupled  with 
the  executive  session,  will  make  it  a  quarter-past 
ten  before  the  social  part  of  the  evening  com- 
mences. A  good  many  of  our  members  live  at  a 
distance,  and  they  cannot  fully  enjoy  the  latter 
part  of  the  meeting  unless  we  begin  promptly  on 
time. 

I  also  ask  your  co-operation  in  maintaining  the 
high  standard  that  has  characterized  the  scien- 
tific sessions  in  the  past.  My  predecessors  have 
placed  so  high  a  mark  for  me  to  reach  that  I  shall 
have  to  enlist  your  earnest  aid  to  enable  me  to 
attain  it. 

We  all  want  our  society  to  grow  and  to  carry 
out  the  first  object  for  which  it  was  formed,  name- 
ly, the  cultivation  and  advancement  of  medicine 
and  surgery;  and  the  place  where  our  influence 
can  be  felt  to  the  greatest  extent  is  in  the  hos- 
pital that  gave  our  society  birth.  Many  of  us 
are  connected  with  it  officially,  and  know  what 
marked  changes  have  taken  place  in  the  past 
few  years,  and  what  still  greater  changes  are 
planned  for  the  future,  but  a  still  larger  number 
are  more  or  less  out  of  touch  with  the  old  insti- 
tution and  the  work  which  it  is  doing,  and  it 
has  seemed  to  me  that  it  might  be  worth  our  while 
to  consider  for  a  few  moments  the  position  that 


12      S^tt&ihtnVS  inaugural  ^bbregg 


Bellevue  Hospital  occupies  as  a  factor  in  medical 
education. 

We  may  perhaps  pause  here  to  consider  why- 
hospitals  were  founded,  and  why  they  exist.  Es- 
tablished at  first  for  the  purpose  of  administering 
to  the  wants  of  the  sick  who  were  too  poor  to 
procure  medical  aid  for  themselves,  and  were 
hence  dependent  on  charity,  the  hospital  of  the 
present  day  has  developed  into  a  complex  insti- 
tution, having  for  its  prime  object  the  relief  of 
sickness,  and  inseparably  connected  with  this,  the 
education  of  the  physician  in  the  arts  of  medicine 
and  surgery,  and,  hand  in  hand,  as  an  indispens- 
able adjuvant,  the  eaucation  of  nurses  in  the  kin- 
dred art  of  caring  for  the  sick;  and  as  a  neces- 
sary consequence  we  have  as  the  final  use  of  the 
hospital,  namely,  the  scientific  investigation  of 
the  laws  which  govern  the  cause  and  progress  of 
disease  and  the  means  necessary  to  prevent  its 
occurrence. 

What  is  Bellevue  doing  along  these  lines,  and 
what  has  she  done  in  the  past? 

According  to  Carlisle,  in  his  account  of  Belle- 
vue Hospital,  the  earliest  reference  to  public  in- 
struction in  this  institution  that  has  been  found, 
is  a  short  note  in  the  "Medical  Repository"  for 
1804,  which  states  that  "a  lying-in  ward  has  just 
been  established  in  the  almshouse,  and  that  Dr. 
Valentine  Seaman  had  begun  a  course  of  lectures 


^resiitient*s;  inaugural  ^bbregg      13 


on  the  obstetric  art,  including  anatomy,  physiolo- 
gy, and  practical  parts,  and  as  this  establishment 
is  particularly  and  exclusively  devoted  to  the 
education  of  females,  it  will  be  easy  for  women 
who  practice,  or  intend  midwifery  to  avail  them- 
selves of  it."  Later  on,  during  the  time  when 
resident  physicians  had  charge  of  the  hospital, 
the  assistants  paid  the  chief  what  was  called  a 
tuition  fee,  for  the  privilege  of  walking  the  wards 
of  the  hospital.  Later  on,  the  Members  of  the 
Medical  Board  gave  courses  of  clinical  lectures 
to  their  students,  and  there  is  record  of  one 
having  been  given  by  Dr.  J.  W.  Francis,  in  1844. 
With  the  advent  of  the  Medical  Board  which 
replaced  the  resident  physician,  came  the  begin- 
ning of  the  practical  use  of  the  material  at  Belle- 
vue  for  the  purposes  of  instruction.  For  many 
years  the  best  medical  men  in  the  State  had 
looked  with  much  concern  upon  the  great  loss  to 
teachers  and  students  alike,  caused  by  not  using 
the  facilities  of  Bellevue  for  clinical  instruction. 
Articles  in  the  Evening  Post,  written  by  Dr.  J,  H. 
Griscomb,  mention  that  repeated  efforts  had  been 
made  to  bring  the  Bellevue  treasures  to  light, 
without  success ;  and  an  article  appeared  in  the 
"N.  Y.  Journal  of  Medicine,"  vol.  vi,  p.  457, 
which  says,  "Bellevue  Hospital,  with  its  one  thou- 
sand patients,  must  be  made  accessible  to  students 
of  medicine,  and  that,  too,  without  delay.     It  is 


14      ^resiibent'sf  Inaugural  ilbbregs; 


a  crying  shame  that  such  a  wide  field  for  clini- 
cal instruction  should  be  actually  lost  to  the  City, 
to  science,  and  to  the  world,  merely  to  subserve 
paltry  party  political  purposes ;  to  give  to  some 
favorite  the  monopoly  of  private  teaching  in  that 
great  establishment." 

The  Medical  Board  made  provisions  for  a  new 
amphitheatre  after  it  came  into  power,  and  on 
the  2nd  of  March,  1849,  it  was  formally  opened 
by  an  address  of  Dr.  D.  Meredith  Reese,  the 
Resident,  following  which  Dr.  Wm.  H.  Van  Beur- 
en  gave  the  first  public  clinic  and  performed  the 
operation  of  Lithotomy.  Notice  was  then  given 
that  thereafter  students  would  be  admitted  with- 
out charge  to  attend  clinical  lectures  on  every 
Friday,  at  1  P.  M.,  and  that  such  clinics  would 
be  held  by  one  of  the  Medical  or  Surgical  officers 
of  the  hospital. 

It  was  also  planned  to  hold  a  Summer  course  in 
April,  May,  June,  and  July,  when  the  usual  in- 
struction in  the  City  colleges  was  suspended. 
These  lectures  were  to  be  given  on  Tuesday, 
Wednesday,  Thursday  and  Friday  of  each  week 
during  the  months  mentioned,  and  were  to  be 
gratuitous.  Whether  this  plan  of  Summer  in- 
struction was  ever  begun,  is  not  known,  but  at 
all  events  it  was  not  continued  later  than  May, 
1850.

In  1853,  owing  to  the  energy  and  zeal  of  Dr. 
James  R.  Wood,  the  pathological  museum  was 
built,  which  contained  a  spacious  lecture  room, 
and  when  the  latter  was  opened  on  October  19th, 
1857,  Dr.  Wood  announced  that  the  Medical  Board 
had  inaugurated  a  new  era  in  medical  instruction, 
and  that  a  series  of  lectures  would  be  given  to 
medical  students  and  practitioners,  by  Drs.  Clark, 
Parker,  Metcalf,  Elliot,  and  J.  R.  Wood.  Tickets 
for  the  course  were  to  be  obtained  by  the  pay- 
ment of  a  fee  to  the  Medical  Board.  These 
lectures  proved  so  successful  that  several  mem- 
bers of  the  Medical  Board  felt  that  it  was  desir- 
able that  they  should  be  brought  into  closer 
touch  with  the  students  than  under  the  existing 
arrangement,  and  that  the  cause  of  medical 
education  would  be  greatly  advanced  if  a  medical 
college  could  be  formed  which  should  be  in  more 
intimate  relation  with  the  hospital. 

The  Board  of  ten  Governors  was  superseded  in 
1860  by  a  new  Board  of  Control,  called  the 
Board  of  Commissioners  of  Public  Charities  and 
Correction,  which  consisted  of  four  members, 
Simeon  Draper,  President;  James  B.  Nicholson, 
Moses  H.  Grinnell,  and  Isaac  Bell,  Jr.  This 
Board  proposed  to  place  the  medical  departments 
of  all  the  institutions  on  Blackwell's  Island,  with 
the  exception  of  the  Lunatic  Asylum  and  Infants' 
Hospital,  under  the  care  of  the  Medical  Board  of 


1 6      ^regibent's  Inaugural  ^bbrtsfsf 


Bellevue,  which  Board,  in  response  to  a  request 
from  the  Commissioners,  investigated  these  sev- 
eral hospitals  through  a  committee  appointed  for 
the  purpose,  and  after  due  consideration  of  the 
subject  acceded  to  the  request  of  the  Commission- 
ers, By  this  arrangement,  960  patients  additional 
came  under  the  care  of  the  Bellevue  Board. 

The  report  of  the  committee  closed  with  the 
following  words :  "In  view  of  the  great  advan- 
tages accruing  from  the  addition  of  such  a  large 
field  of  practice,  thus  enlarging  the  field  of  clinical 
instruction,  and  the  extensive  opportunities  for 
advancing  the  cause  of  medical  science,  thereby 
iattracting  to  the  institution  of  the  City  of  New 
York  a  large  number  of  medical  students,  does 
it  not,  with  even  this  cursory  view  of  the  subject 
become  an  important  question  whether,  ere  many 
days  elapse,  Bellevue  Hospital  should  not  have 
connected  with  it  a  college  for  the  education  of 
young  men,  independent  of  the  hospital  for  mere 
clinical  teaching,  thus  making  it  one  of  the  best 
hospitals  and  medical  schools  in  the  United  States, 
nay,  in  Europe?  The  committee  thinks  the  sub- 
ject is  one  worthy  of  consideration,  and  that 
some  plan  might  be  suggested  to  carry  it  out  with 
effect.  There  are  many  reasons  why  it  should 
be,  and  every  exertion  ought  to  be  attempted  to 
accomplish  it.  The  Commissioners  will  come  up 
to  the  work  when  the  proper  time  comes  for  its 


H^vtaihtnV^  Inmuuxal  ^bbresfg      17 


consummation,  as  it  is  now  brought  forward  at 
their  suggestion  and  request." 

On  the  31st  of  December,  1860,  it  was  resolved : 
"That  we,  as  the  Medical  Board,  agree  to  lecture 
according  to  the  plan  proposed  by  the  Commis- 
sioners ;"  and  in  March,  1861,  eleven  out  of  the 
active  members  of  the  Medical  Board  signified 
their  willingness  to  connect  themselves  with  the 
proposed  college. 

The  college  was  incorporated,  and  on  April  11th, 
the  Commissioners  gave  permission  for  the  erec- 
tion of  a  building  within  the  hospital  enclosure. 
The  members  of  the  Medical  Board  who  joined 
the  college  were,  Drs.  Taylor,  Hamilton,  Sayre, 
Valentjne  Mott,  Stephen  Smith,  Barker,  George 
T.  Elliot,  Macready,  Gouley,  and  Loomis. 

The  success  attending  the  union  of  clinical 
and  didactic  teaching  in  the  Bellevue  Hospital 
Medical  College  was  such  that  the  other  colleges 
were  soon  compelled  to  greatly  increase  their 
clinical  facilities,  and  to  a  large  extent  made  use 
of  Bellevue  Hospital  to  fill  this  need;  and  each 
succeeding  year  has  caused  the  hospital  to  be  used 
more  and  more  as  a  means  of  giving  instruction 
to  the  medical  student. 

From  the  comparatively  slight  practical  acquain- 
tance with  disease  that  the  student  of  thirty  years 
ago  acquired  from  seeing  a  few  operations  at 
clinics,   and   listening  to   remarks   about   medical 

(2  ) 


1 8      l^u^ihtnV^  inaugural  ^bbregg 


cases  emphasized  by  the  presence  of  the  patient, 
there  has  progressively  been  developed  a  more 
intimate  relation,  and  at  present  the  wards  are 
visited  every  day  by  senior  students  from  all  the 
medical  colleges  of  the  City,  who  take  histories 
of  the  cases  to  which  they  are  assigned,  conduct 
physical  examinations  under  supervision  and  make 
diagnoses  of  the  xonditions  present,  and  their 
period  of  visiting  the  hospital  is  of  sufficiently 
long  duration  for  them  to  follow  cases  from 
start  to  finish,  except  in  those  instances  where 
the  disease  has  a  natural  history  that  extends 
into  months.  On  the  surgical  side  they  see 
operations  close  by  in  small  sections,  and  have 
practical  instruction  in  surgical  diagnosis  and  in 
dressing  cases. 

Hand  and  hand  with  this  goes  instruction  in 
pathology,  and  here  the  hospital  has  made  great 
strides  forward.  The  old  Wood  museum  which 
was  once  the  pride  of  the  hospital  was  for  a  time 
stored  in  barrels  and  placed  on  a  few  shelves 
in  the  back  of  the  amphitheatre,  and  the  patho- 
logical examinations  were  not  recorded  with  the 
exactness  that  was  desirable;  but  in  the  plans 
for  the  new  Bellevue,  adequate  provision  has 
been  made  for  a  pathological  department  with  a 
large  museum  and  fine  laboratories,  and  now  ex- 
aminations   of    the   Axxine,.    sputum„    blood    and 


^tzsiiiitnVsi  ^Jnaugural  ^bbressf      19 


feces  are  made  by  the  students  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  pathologist  and  his  assistants. 

In  former  times  the  histories  were  many  times 
defective,  as  the  house  staff  was  too  small  to  do 
the  work  that  was  required  of  them;  and  even 
when  the  histories  had  been  taken  with  great 
care,  the  system  of  indexing  the  cases  was  so 
imperfect  that  the  value  of  the  history  was  nearly 
lost.  At  present,  there  is  a  system  of  classifying 
and  indexing  the  histories  so  that  they  constitute 
practically  a  most  excellent  library,  where  one 
may  follow  out  a  certain  line  of  research  with 
ease  and  satisfaction. 

It  is  many  years  since  Bulwer-Lytton  said  that 
"civilized  men  cannot  live  without  cooks ;"  but 
it  has  taken  the  medical  profession  a  long  time 
to  accept  this  fact,  and  to  realize  that  it  is  more 
important  in  many  cases  to  look  after  the  patient's 
nutrition  than  to  fill  him  with  drugs.  It  took 
Bellevue  also  some  time  to  awake  to  this  concep- 
tion of  things,  but  now  there  is  a  dietitian  who 
has  charge  of  the  commissary  department,  and 
a  visiting  physician  can  prescribe  for  his  patient 
a  certain  kind  of  diet  with  a  reasonable  assurance 
that  he  will  receive  what  he  ought  to  have,  and 
he  will  not  feel  compelled  to  resign,  as  one  very 
excellent  man  did  in  the  past,  because  he  felt 
there  was  little  use  in  drugging  his  patients  when 
he  could  not  regulate  their  diet. 


20      ^resfibent's!  Inaugural  ^bbregg 


The  nurses  also,  I  am  happy  to  say,  reap  the 
benefit  of  this  change  and  learn  practically  how 
to  prepare  food  for  the  sick,  something  that  was 
supposed  to  be  taught  in  the  past,  but  which 
knowledge,  in  my  experience,  seemed  confined  to 
those  nurses  who  had  gained  it  in  their  mothers' 
kitchens  before  going  to  the  training  school. 

To  carry  on  this  increased  amount  of  work 
the  number  of  employees  has  necessarily  been 
increased  very  largely,  and  the  house  staff  has 
also  nearly  doubled  in  size;  and  this,  coupled  with 
the  appointment  of  adjunct  visiting  physicians 
and  surgeons,  makes  possible  a  more  intelligent 
supervision  of  the  patients  than  formerly  existed. 

It  is  a  great  error  for  a  man  to  try  to  do  more 
than  he  can  do  well,  and  the  number  of  patients 
under  one  man's  care  was,  in  the  old  times,  so 
great  that  it  was  impossible  for  them  to  receive 
the  minute  supervision  that  was  due  to  them. 

A  man  should  never  overwork  himself  if  from  no 
higher  motive  than  that  of  self-interest,  as  it  is 
so  easy  to  acquire  a  way  of  being  slipshod  and 
slovenly  from  lack  of  time  to  do  things  in  the 
best  possible  way,  which  is  the  only  way  in  which 
they  should  be  done. 

Bellevue  in  the  past  has  suffered  from  over- 
working. The  number  of  patients  under  the  care 
of  each  man  being  too  large  to  allow  the  best  pos- 
sible work  being  done,  and  as  increased  facilities 


^rcgibent^s;  Snausural  ^hhvt^si      21 


are  presented  with  the  enlarging  of  the  hospital 
buildings,  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  number  of 
internes  will  be  increased  until  it  is  adequate  to 
the  needs  of  the  institution.  In  addition  to  the 
medical  education  which  Bellevue  imparts  to  the 
under-graduates,  there  is  the  medical  education 
which  is  given  to  the  interne,  and  here  again  the 
necessity  of  a  larger  visiting  and  larger  house 
staff  is  apparent  in  order  that  the  latter  may  have 
that  personal  contact  with  the  former  in  examin- 
ation of  cases,  which  is  essential  to  the  highest 
development  of  both. 

There  is  a  tendency  in  large  hospitals  at  times 
towards  the  blunting  of  sensibilities.  The  patients 
in  the  wards  are  frequently  not  treated  with  the 
courtesy  which  would  be  observed  towards  them 
in  private  practice.  The  visiting  physician  has  a 
duty  towards  the  interne  in  this  respect  also,  and 
should  teach  him  not  only  to  be  a  careful  clinical 
observer  but  also  a  courteous  gentleman  in  his 
relations  to  the  patient.  Many  of  us  are  prone 
to  neglect  the  courtesies  and  consideration  due 
to  the  sick,  and  forget  that  they  are  human  beings, 
regarding  them  merely  as  specimens  of  patholog- 
ical interest. 

The  position  of  Bellevue  in  solving  problems 
connected  with  disease,  has  always  been  a  most 
prominent  one,  but  this  has  been  largely  due  to 
the  intelligence  of  the  men  composing  the  visiting 


22      l^vtiiititnVsi  inaugural  ^bbre£fs( 


§taff  rather  than  to  the  facilities  for  research 
which  were  placed  at  their  disposal.  Great  changes 
in  this  respect  have  taken  place  within  the  last 
few  years  and  greater  facilities^ for  scientific  in- 
vestigation of  the  causes  of  disease  have  been  plac- 
ed within  their  reach,  but  the  perfection  has  been 
by  no  means  attained,  and  all  of  us  should  look 
toward  the  elevation  of  Bellevue's  standard,  hop- 
ing to  see  the  time  when  a  greater  community  of 
interest  shall  prevail  amongst  those  connected 
with  the  hospital,  and  that  the  Greater  Bellevue 
shall  hold  not  only  a  prominent  place,  but  the 
most  prominent  place  in  this  country  as  the  centre 
of  medical  thought  and  influence.

At  the  meeting  on  November  6th,  1907,  the  following 
resolution  was  passed: 

Resolved:  That  the  income  derived  from  the  in- 
vested funds  of  this  Society  shall  be  devoted  to  the 
establishment  of  two  prizes,  annually,  which  shall  not 
exceed  one  hundred  dollars  each,  and  which  may  be 
awarded  to  the  two  members  of  the  House  Staff  of  Belle- 
vue  Hospital,  who  shall  submit,  either  during  their  house 
service  or  within  one  year  from  the  completion  of  their 
house  service,  the  best  papers  based  on  observation  and 
clinical  studies  made  during  their  work  in  the  hospital. 

That  these  papers  shall  be  signed,  each  with  an  as- 
sumed name,  and  have  a  motto,  both  of  which  shall  be 
endorsed  on  a  sealed  envelope  containing  the  author's 
name  and  address. 

That  each  paper  shall  be  typewritten  and,  with  its 
accompanying  sealed  envelope,  placed  in  the  hands  of  the 
Committee  on  Science  on  or  before  the  first  day  of 
December. 

That  these  papers  shall  indicate  careful  preparation, 
be  characterized  by  clearness  and  conciseness  of  ex- 
pression, and  be,  in  the  judgment  of  the  Committee  on 
Science,  of  decided  value  to  the  members  of  the  Medical 
profession. 

That  the  Committee  on  Science  shall  examine  tkese 
papers,  select  the  two  having  the  greatest  merit,  and  re- 
port their  decision  to  the  Society  at  the  January  meet- 
ing. 

That  if,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Committee,  none  of  the 
papers  presented  are  of  sufficient  importance,  one  or  both 
of  the  prizes  may  be  withheld. 

In  accordance  with  the  above  resolutions,  upon  the 
recommendation  of  the  Committee  on  Science,  presented 
to  the  Society  at  the  January  meeting,  a  prize  of  one 
hundred  dollars  was  awarded  to  Dr.  C.  P.  Obendorf  for 
an  essay  entitled: 

"A    Case    of    Multiple    i^xostoses    Coupled    with    Syringo- 
myelia."
